I have never made pickles and these sounded so easy. I made a batch yesterday afternoon using Splenda. I had a taste a few hours later and again this evening. They are so good and I am amazed at how easy they were to make. If you like bread and butter pickles, you will thrilled by these!

They are great, aren’t they? Instant gratification pickles! I love taking these to picnics – people expect they are the standard “cukes in vinegar” dish of summer and they are pleasantly surprised. Such a fresh taste, and with Splenda, a really good zero-guilt treat.

I just made the refrig. pickles, followed the recipe, but had to make & add another whole recipe and a half of brine to cover the veg. in the jars!
I had 2 quarts and 2 pints. Maybe I didn’t pack them into the jars tight enough? I did push them down with a spoon, but they float. I assume they need to be covered, to turn into pickles? 1 c of vinegar doesn’t seem to be very much to cover them all. And the sugar never did dissolve completely.
Hope they turn out OK.

Well the pickles look OK now, too much brine as a matter of fact, had to pour some out! As you can tell I have never made pickles before. By the way, DH says they are excellent!
Can I save the used brine to use again or should I make fresh when I need more pickles?
Thanks for all your advice, Dede. Everyone is so helpful here!
